Features: Upon arriving at a place called Golgotha, Jesus was nailed to the cross there, along with two other criminals: one on his left and one on his right.—Luke 23:32 Jesus' crucifixion is one of the greatest events in human history. Through his self-sacrifice, the God who took on human form completed the salvation of all humanity. For this, he endured betrayal, scourging, spitting upon, and being nailed to the cross—martyrdoms that no ordinary person could bear. With his holy blood, he washed away the sins of humanity, reopening the gates of heaven to humankind. From then on, the influence of Christianity has spanned generations. This book centers on this event, featuring excerpts from the works of the most influential artists in Western art history, presenting it from the most comprehensive perspective and showcasing it from multiple angles. Thus, it elucidates the profound meaning behind the event, serving as a sincere window for readers to understand Western culture.
